drivers/staging/bcm/nvm.c: add missing kfree

2011-08-23T22:20:53+00:00

Buff is only used as a temporary buffer within the function, so it should
be freed before leaving the function in an error case.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S,S1;
expression E;
identifier fl;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x
     when != if (...) { <+...kfree(x)...+> }
     when any
     when != true x == NULL
x->fl
...>
(
if (x == NULL) S1
|
if (...) { ... when != x
               when forall
(
 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);
|
* return ...;
)
}
)

staging/bcm: add sparse annotations

2010-10-05T15:50:15+00:00

This marks up the code where sparse complains in most cases.
Most of the changes are in the ioctl handling code, which
gets __user annotations, finding one unchecked user access.

The rest is mostly about marking functions static when they
are only used in one file.

staging: Beeceem USB Wimax driver

2010-09-09T04:15:06+00:00

The Sprint 4G network uses a Wimax dongle with Beecem
chipset. The driver is typical of out of tree drivers, but
maybe useful for people, and the hardware is readily available.

Here is a staging ready version (i.e warts and all)

0. Started with Rel_5.2.7.3P1_USB from Sprint4GDeveloperPack-1.1
1. Consolidated files in staging
2. Remove Dos cr/lf
3. Remove unnecessary ioctl from usbbcm_fops

Applied patches that were in the developer pack, surprising
there were ones for 2.6.35 already.

This is compile tested only, see TODO for what still needs
to be done.
